Meet River
River here, If I say so myself, I am a handsome,exceptionally sweet and fun-loving Australian Shepherd mix, who is ready to bring joy and companionship to your home! My mom has a chronic illness and needs to re-home me. At just 1.5 years old and 55 pounds, I have a playful spirit and a high energy level, that makes me the perfect adventure buddy. Whether you're going for a hike, swimming in a lake or river, or just lounging on the couch, I will be right by your side. I have nothing but love in me. I am an affectionate boy who thrives on companionship and connection. I am very attuned to energy, so I know when to support. I am house-trained, leash trained, do not destroy household items and get along beautifully with other dogs and children, making me an ideal addition to any family. My loving nature and friendly demeanor will melt your heart! I was hit by a car at a year old. I had a break on my left front leg. Xrays were done recently and it showed it did not heal properly. We will have a consult with an ortho Dr, to determine if a surgery could make it right. Otherwise, I may need an amputation. This cost will be on the rescue.Us dogs don't care about being handicapped. We adjust. This kind of surgery can be from $5-$7,000. Being I am young, the rescue may try to raise funds to save my leg. We will keep you updated. River would thrive in an active household where he can receive plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, family adventurers as he loves riding in the car and camping. He’s looking for a loving family who can appreciate his sweet personality and provide him with the care and attention he deserves. If you're ready to open your heart and home to a furry friend who will fill your life with love and laughter, then River is the perfect match for you! Come meet him today, fall in love, and see just how wonderful life can be with River by your side! Let’s give River the loving home he deserves!

Adoption Process
The first step to adopting is to fill out the Online Adoption Application at www.rosesrescue.net. After your application has been reviewed and approved, one of our volunteers will get in touch with you. As long as your application has been pre-approved, the pet's foster parent will set up a time with you to come visit the pet you're interested in. In some cases, a home visit may also be required. If all goes well, you will then sign an adoption contract, pay the adoption fee, and then your new pet is ready to go to its forever home!
